However, Abel's theorem states that if the series is convergent for some value z such that | z – c | = r, then the sum of the series for x = z is the limit of the sum of the series for x = c + t (z – c) where t is a real variable less than 1 that tends to 1.
An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.
A formal power series can be loosely thought of as an object that is like a polynomial, but with infinitely many terms.Alternatively, for those familiar with power series (or Taylor series), one may think of a formal power series as a power series in which we ignore questions of convergence by not assuming that the variable X denotes any numerical value (not even an unknown value).
Alternatively, the equality can be justified by multiplying the power series on the left by 1 − x, and checking that the result is the constant power series 1 (in other words, that all coefficients except the one of x 0 are equal to 0). Moreover, there can be no other power series with this property.
F(x, F(y,z)) = F(F(x,y), z) (associativity). The simplest example is the additive formal group law F(x, y) = x + y. The idea of the definition is that F should be something like the formal power series expansion of the product of a Lie group, where we choose coordinates so that the identity of the Lie group is the origin.
Example 2: The power series for g(z) = −ln(1 − z), expanded around z = 0, which is =, has radius of convergence 1, and diverges for z = 1 but converges for all other points on the boundary. The function f(z) of Example 1 is the derivative of g(z). Example 3: The power series

For example, the closed subscheme x 3 + y 3 = z 3 of is an elliptic curve over the rational numbers. The line with two origins (over a field k) is the scheme defined by starting with two copies of the affine line over k, and gluing together the two open subsets A 1 − 0 by the identity map. This is a simple example of a non-separated scheme.
